Inside Gemma Owen's top sporting career with close knit team

Gemma Owen is 19 years old.And can we just say something? When we were 19 we were having cereal for dinner at uni and learning how to iron without burning the house down. Compare those classy images to Gemma Owen's reality of being a 19-year-old international dressage rider for Great Britain, living an ultra glam showbiz lifestyle and dating a string of older hunky men (we say 'older', one of them was Jacques O'Neil, who is exhibiting the emotional maturity of...can we just say Jacques?)Gemma Owen, who is Michael Owen's daughter (again for you rock people), has been hitting headlines for her age (she turned 19 in May) before she even appeared on our screens.

Gemma Owen has had interesting time in the Love Island villa so far. Things got off to a rocky start for the 19-year-old as viewers complained it had become the 'Gemma show'.

Gemma Owen is no longer the only Love Island star in the villa with famous parents after bombshell Antigoni Buxton made a surprise entrance in Tuesday’s episode. Owen, 19, who is the daughter of former England footballer player Michael Owen, looked visibly shocked along with the other female islanders who clocked Buxton’s arrival.

Love Island viewers have been left baffled at Gemma Owen's lack of eye contact on the show. But a dating expert has said it could well be because the 19 year old is "hiding a secret." It is widely known that Gemma's dad is famous footballer Michael Owen, but this information is yet to be found out by her fellow islanders.

Gemma Owen has found herself at the centre of the drama in the Love Island villa so far, especially after the recent arrival of one of her ex-boyfriends, Jacques O'Neill. The 19 year old, who is former professional footballer Michael Owen's eldest daughter, was left shocked when Jacques, 23, entered the famous villa as a bombshell, and exclaimed: "Oh my god, that's my ex-boyfriend," as she saw his face.

We're a week into the latest series Love Island and one contestant is arguably the most discussed Islander in the famous villa this year. Dressage rider Gemma Owen, the daughter of former Liverpool, Manchester United and England striker Michael Owen, had viewers talking just a couple of days in after she coupled-up with Italian hunk Davide Sanclimenti who lives in Manchester.

Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid has taken a slight dig at Michael Owen's daughter, Gemma, who is currently starring on this year's series of Love Island. The stunning 19 year old daughter of the former Liverpool and England football hero has dominated much of the show's storylines since entering the famous Mallorcan villa just a week ago. And on this morning's GMB, self-confessed Love Island fan Susanna, 51, questioned whether the show was actually 'Gemma Island'.

Love Island fans are almost a week into the new series and there has already been a recoupling and not one but FOUR bombshells, starting with Davide Sanclimenti and more recently the arrival of Gemma Owen's ex Jacques O'Neill.

Susanna Reid had a little bit of Love Island shade to share this morning as she returned to Good Morning Britain. The presenter was back hosting the show on Monday (June 13) alongside Richard Madeley.

Love Island star Gemma Owen has revealed she feels guilty that Strength and Conditioning graduate Liam Llewellyn made the decision to leave the Mallorcan villa just four days after entering the competition. In Friday night’s episode, viewers saw Liam call his fellow contestants to the fire pit as he announced he had some big news to make. Gathering everyone around the iconic meeting spot, the 24 year old candidly admitted he hadn't quite gelled with anyone in the villa.

Over the years, contestants who have gone onto Love Island have proved that the show has the potential to launch its islanders into a newfound world of fame and fortune. From Molly-Mae’s growing business empire to Alex and Olivia Bowen’s success as a power couple, the popular ITV2 can transform the lives of its contestants almost overnight. And it appears that in anticipation of the potential benefits that a Love Island appearance can bring, Gemma Owen began preparing for the series months before even entering the villa.

The 19-year-old daughter of sports star Michael Owen is being repped by a specialist PR agency which also looks after a selection of more famous former Islanders.The team will work to boost Gemma's profile even before she leaves the villa.
